It was an ncaa thing, all universities had to get permission from the local tribes to keep the name, The Sioux got permission from one out of the two people living in ND.
I can't believe they had to change the name. I remember years ago the native Americans fucking with the Braves about our name and logo. I guess we paid them well cause I haven't heard anything else in years regarding a name change

In 2002, NDSU announced their intention to move their football program to the Division I-AA level (and athletic program as a whole to Division I). An agreement for the schools to continue competing on the field could not be reached between the two universities and was the subject of much controversy following NDSU's reclassification. Thus, the Sioux have held the trophy since October 18, 2003, when they defeated NDSU in the last Nickel Trophy game by a 28-21 score in Grand Forks.
